It's the end of another month which of course means it's Scavenger Hunt

organised by Greenthumb @ Made with Love.

Most of my photos this month where taken whilst on holiday

in Yorkshire and Northmberland.

C is for ....

Cafe in the Valley Gardens Harrogate.

They serve a very nice cup of coffee.

Dough

Well near enough I think.

9pm

This was taken from our front garden a couple of nights ago.

In your bag.

This was the contents of my bag for my patchwork

group yesterday.

Together

This is the button shop in Harrogate

I don't think I have seen so many buttons together in one place.

I did buy some and then lost them during the day somewhere.

Typical.

Lever

One of the gates on Hadrians wall.

Liquid

Theres a lot of liquid between the mainland 

and this island. Not sure which island it is.

My view of the day

The finishing straight for the first day of Le Tour.

On the wall

Translated it means,according to Google translator, 

 "Citadel of the famous fountains"

Pool

In the Studley water gardens.

Stem

The stem of a very old Wisteria.

The man trying to get out of the shot is my brother.

Sweet

My macaroon at Betty's tea rooms.

A visit to Yorkshire isn't complete without going to 

Betty's tea rooms apparently.

It tasted fantastic.

So thats my contribution for this month.

Time to look up next months list.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

My friends garden when I called in one morning and 

just noticed the time was 10 O'clock.

B is for…

Boat.

 In a hedge in a field. An opportunity too

good to miss.

Calm

A lovely old mill pond along the North Norfolk coast.

Habitat

This one is in the grounds of Blickling Hall.

Manmade

 One of the old disused railways near here 

has been turned into a footpath and this

wonderful old bridges  goes over it.

Open

The sign on a local fabric shop.

Very fitting.

Puppet

I'm not a lover of puppets they tend to freak me out a bit

so this was found in an old book shop and solved 

the problem as well as being a funny picture.

Would have been good for spoon as well.

Steam

This is one of the small steam engines

on the Bure Valley railway.

Water

Saw this fabulous old water butt in the graveyard

 of one of the lovely old churches

around here.

 Must do a post on some of them one day we have so many.

You Again

Here he is again, Little Mack trying to hide in

the long grass.

Spoon

Lastly my set of chinese spoons.

You will notice that there is only 11 that is because this is 

a soccer free house at the moment and Soccer was the final word.

Thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Mr T and I are off to see the Tour de France  Grand depart in Yorkshire

 and have a holiday in the area for a few days so 

expect lots of photos. We booked this months and months ago so 

lets hope the weather is dry.

See you all soon.

with Green Thumb at Made with Love and the rest of the gang for 

our photographic Scavenger Hunt.

Here for the links.

I was set

an additional challenge with this months

hunt as my wonderful husband suggested I try to take all

the photos from in and around our house and gardens.

It means that some of the photos aren't as nice as I would

have hoped but I have managed it. 

So here is this months chosen selection

1. Berries

The mixed berries that are part of my breakfast most mornings.

2. Crisp

A cold and Crisp morning with a slight frost,

few and far between this winter.

made it.

the road at our neighbours having a new roof .

yes it was taken during the last month

although that lovely blue sky didn't last long.

These curing works have been turned into

a town museum and cafe.

HONEY

I saw this lovely honeypot in a local antiques market

none that I could find anyway.

This one is in Brunei.

LAMP

On the old railway station at Weybourne.

This is one of the things I inherited from my Grandmother.

The flowers are embroidered over the painting
